Personalized children’s book publisher I See Me!, Inc. recently launched a new personalized storybook My Very Happy Birthday on their website. In this charming birthday storybook, Turtle, Duck, Mouse, Bluebird and others come together to put on a very happy birthday party for a child. According to author Jennifer Dewing, “This sweet personalized storybook is the perfect gift to celebrate a special child’s birthday! The board book pages are designed for busy babies, toddlers and preschoolers.”
My Very Happy Birthday was illustrated by artist Mati McDonough. McDonough used a unique collage style of illustration, bright colors and adorable animal characters to bring the story to life. According to I See Me! Co-Founder Allan Haag, “The personalization of this book is incredible. The child’s name is personalized on the birthday cake frosting, banners and invitations shown in the book. Children will delight in seeing their name throughout the story- in both the text and the pictures.”
This storybook comes in a “Birthday Girl” version and a “Birthday Boy” version. You can take a virtual tour of the “birthday girl” version of the new storybook here, and the “birthday boy” version of the storybook here.
My Thoughts:
As many of you know who regularly follow my blog, we welcomed our second daughter, Arabella Sofia back in November. Since then, we have enjoyed buying personalized books and stationary for her, just like we have been doing with our older daughter, Savannah. So, when I heard that the folks at I See Me were offering a new My Very Happy Birthday personalized book for a child's birthday, I knew this would make for a special keepsake for Arabella's first birthday this year.
I have worked with I See Me! in the past, and love their personalized books and floor puzzles. So, when I was given the opportunity to review this new personalized birthday board book, I couldn't wait to see what it looked like up close. The ordering process was easy, as you merely had to fill the spaces of basic questions that the I See Me! website asked, like name, age, names of relatives, friends, etc. Within a book of placing my order, I received Arabella's personalized book in the mail. What first caught my attention as the size and bright colors of the birthday cake on the cover of this personalized book. The book itself is, but is a great size to stuff in a gift basket, put in a bookcase, or display on a shelf or table. As for the story, it was cute and would keep young children engaged. I ended up reading the book to Savannah, and every time she heard her sister's name read, she would point to her and say, "My Sissa." Ahh, my heart melted when this happened, as I hope they have a strong sisterly bond as they grow up and experience new things together.
I See Me! has done it again with a wonderful gift that any child would love to receive. Now that I have seen how excited Savannah got while I read this board book to her, I can't wait to make one for her and surprise her for her 2nd birthday in July. She couldn't get over the whimsical and colorful illustrations of the animals, who work on putting together a special birthday party, as she continually pointed to each animal and smiled. So, if you are looking for a unique and fun gift to give your little one (or grandchild) this year, why not create a personalized My Very Happy Birthday book today?
